    You are abnormal. Because you are 6 pounds heavier than you were this morning? No. It's because you're weighing yourself twice a day. Save your sanity and weigh only once a week.

My doc keeps telling me not to weigh myself more than once a week for that very reason. We do fluctuate, time of day, time since last bowel movement, fullness or emptiness of bladder, etc. I mean if you drink 32 oz of fluids and weigh yourself before peeing, you'll be 2 lbs heavier. I wouldn't necessarily think it should fluctuate 8 or 10 pounds in a short period of time but 2 to 5 pounds isn't unreasonable.

Also only weigh in the mornings when you are naked right after you pee. Another thing that can effect your weight is time of the month for a women, or if you have had a lot of salt that day, because those both make us retain water.
